Apr 15, 2024, 09:30 AM

Researchers at Flinders University have identified three new species of extinct giant kangaroos, resolving a scientific mystery that has persisted for nearly 150 years. These discoveries were made in Australia and New Guinea and include a species that was more than double the size of today's largest kangaroo. This finding not only adds significant knowledge to the field of paleontology but also sheds light on the diverse megafauna that once roamed these regions.
